P2r throttle body spacer problem

polgas07 · 06-21-2007, 08:22 PM

hey Tai just got my spacer, i'm having problems with it idling though, i've reset the ecu checked whether the bolts or tight or not (must be the fact that i'm only using two of the the provided bolts since the other 2 are nuts and they wont fit). is it possible that i would need another gasket with it?

Nope, just tighten it down all the way.

ya if you are only using 2 of the 4 bolts provided then there is your biggest problem right there. You have to take out the 2 old studs to make room for the 2 new bolts. Its kind of a ***** to get them out, use the trick posted on this forum somewhere, thats what I did. Basically just take 2 buts and tighten them against eachother, then "loosen" the inside nut to pull out the stud with it.

Also, believe it or not you may have a problem with ur CAI. I just did the install for my CAI and P2R spacer and gaskets at the same time last week. And I ran into a bit of a problem, so make sure of this before you do it.

I have an AEM CAI and the air fuel injector tube from the CAI gets in the way of a mechanism extending from your shifter cables, aka not being able to shift sometimes or its hard. I had to cut my hose to make it shorter and reposition it a lil bit. Because of that extra inch or so the hardware adds. Ya it may not seem like alot but it was enough. Wasnt a hard adjustment to make, just be careful when you are done installing.

Install was easy as hell though. Make it alot easier doing it before a CAI is in too heh.
